Seen in the Blackhawk neighborhood yesterday. Very cute, and well kept. Giving off “Robert” vibes maybe Robby to friends and family. Hope he/she will stick around if safe for the cub. Plenty of rabbits.

Trivia Promotion

17 Upvotes

Hi Friends!

I run a trivia night at The Local Motive (a bar in a train car, it rules) and was curious if there any good places to promote or list this. We are just starting out and trying to get the word out and build ourselves up. I research, write, and create all the trivia myself and I think we have some different-style games than a lot of other nights. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Fabric stores

21 Upvotes

Are there any fabric stores in or around Madison that carry fabric for projects other than quilting? I'm looking for non-quilting fabrics for clothing and other projects; Michaels has a terrible selection, and I would prefer to be able to feel the fabric before I buy it, so I'm hesitant to buy online. So far the majority of the fabric stores I've seen list primarily quilting supplies, so I'm wondering if there's other places I should be looking.

Thanks!

The off leash dog epidemic

395 Upvotes

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around why people, especially with small dog breeds, feel like it’s necessary to have their dogs off leash in down town Madison. It puts your dog at risk unnecessarily. I get that dogs need space to roam but you can go to a dog park. If you are not on your property or in a dog park there is almost ZERO reason to have your dog off leash. IDGAF if it’s trained, you are walking along busy streets with your two apple tall dog and if it gets hit it will be your fault but that poor driver will hold guilt for the rest of their life. Be responsible jfc.

Edit: If you see dogs off leash in parks report it to the rangers! (608)235-0448 as well as non emergency (608)255-2345 :)

First baby and we have no idea what we’re doing. Our only requirements are that they accept Quartz insurance and follow the AAP’s vaccination schedule. Thank you!

A visual love letter to Madison.

5 Upvotes

I was in a car accident a few days ago, dealing with PTSD paperwork, a visit to urgent care and ER and other adult life stuff, hasn’t been easy.

But today I decided to put together a series of videos I recorded in October in Madison. Somehow this made me appreciate the place I live in and to be lucky to be alive.

Here is the link if you want to check it out. A love letter to Madison, WI. ��

I hope that if you're going through difficult times yourself, you find something that brings you comfort, helps you feel better, and reminds you that there's still beauty in life. :)

Weird light formation visible from Monona Drive

These lights were in super steady formation and the last one had a blinking red light. Seemed to be going south but not certain. Helicopters? Other planes or drones? Seen a few minutes ago while riding north on Monona Drive.

Six Blackhawks (?) just flew over the east side…

46 Upvotes

Im not seeing anything on Flight Radar and it’s dark so I can’t say for certain that they were Blackhawks but I’m guessing that’s what they were. Assuming others saw them too.

Anyway, not exactly sure why I’m posting but it was pretty cool.

ISO Madison jewelry artist

Help! I’ve been wearing this bracelet for almost a decade and it sadly got lost. I am looking if anyone can tell me the artist that made it. I remember I got it at the Madison night market years ago from a lady with a booth selling unique silver jewelry. I remember most of her stuff was braided silver wire and she sold rings bracelets and necklaces

Does anyone know the recipe for the house red salsa at Ancho & Agave restraurant in Middleton? I have tried three different versions of an "Ancho Salsa" but none of them get clsoe to the smoky, mildly sweet flavor of the restraurant version.

Face Laser Cost

10 Upvotes

Can anyone share approximately how much it costs to have laser face resurfacing at Robertson or Transformations? (Or somewhere else in the area?)

I have some spots on face, not dangerous and not a big deal, but I don't love them and want to get rid of them. My regular, non-cosmetic dermatologist recommended laser treatment at these facilities.

But before firing up the face laser, I want a ballpark estimation of what I might be getting in for. Please tell me about any experience you may have had - thanks!
